i'm so pleased with the comments so far. thank you so much. i too remember that awesome feeling the original castle gave me as a child, and i wanted to really bring it to life and add some of my own ideas and re-interpretation. this thing is huge, as you can see, but i honestly wish i could have made it even larger. the nice thing about it though, is that i can always expand it... it has no jaw bridge, which i know is so important to the exterior of the castle... but my diorama has no face or front, so working in the concept of an opening just didn't seem necessary or practical.

yes, steve is right, currently this is only placed together. there are 19 peices (so far) but nothing has been permanantly attached together. if there is enough interest, i have designed it to be replicated. time will tell.. feel free to contact me. for now i'm just having fun making it.

Just noticed this post by you Nemesis!! Wow man...now this is a diorama!! Really curious to know how you set this one up and materials you used for the stones!! This really came out beautifully!

it's mostly foam board at the moment, the stone walls have a layer of tile that was then carved and textured for the look i wanted. i'm having fun being inventive and looking at things in a creative way. example, the stairway collumn is made of simply orange juice bottle caps. from the back, the diorama is mostly open and hollow. i'll post pics of that when i have updates.

hey, thanks for the bump. i haven't done a lot more since posting these pics. sorry. life happens, ya know don't worry, i will finish it, and hopefully ... but i'll need a bit more support to make it possible.

Understand. I recently started a new job, so things have been strange/hectic a bit more than normal. Cool. What kind of support you want/need?

in order to mold and cast something as big as this, i would need enough reliable backers to make the investment cost effective. that's really as far as i can discuss it publicly. for now this is just a one of a kind custom project. anything is possible in the future, but i can't promise anything just yet.
